The North Carolina men’s lacrosse team defeated Marquette, 10-9, in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday. The Tar Heels knocked off the Big East tournament champions and advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament.
What Happened?
NCAA Tournament games aren’t supposed to be played in this tough an atmosphere. Tickets for Marquette’s (11-5) first NCAA Tournament game in lacrosse sold out in roughly 20 minutes Wednesday morning and the crowd gave the Golden Eagles a real home field advantage.
In addition to the atmosphere on the field, the weather was a mess.
